Spears 808 Series PVC Pipe Fitting, 1 NPT Female, 90 Degree Elbow

This Spears schedule 80 PVC elbow fitting features female NPT threads on both ends and is designed for connecting two pipes with male NPT threaded ends at a 90-degree angle in order to change the direction of flow between the pipes. The National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads create a tighter seal than straight threads. Made of gray PVC (polyvinyl chloride), this elbow fitting, or "ell," offers chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and is lighter than metal fittings. It is compatible with schedule 80 (thick wall) PVC pipes and fittings, and is suitable for use in chemical processing, industrial plating, chilled water distribution, deionized water lines, and chemical drainage and wastewater treatment systems. PVC can be connected to other materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings. The fitting has a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F, meets ASTM International D1784 and D2467 standards for quality assurance, and is certified by the National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service. This female-to-female schedule 80 PVC elbow fitting is suitable for connecting pipes for conveying drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids in a range of industries.

Pipe fittings are essential components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in various industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, it is important to consider the application, as this will impact the material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in a variety of shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
